THE PARK BILL'S
BRIGHT PROSPECT
-
INTERVIEWS WITH MAJOR MOO
DY AND CONGRESSMAN
SCOTT, OF KANSAS.
Half a Day's Consideration by
The House Is All the Measure
Needs to Insure Adoption.
NOTHING CAN PREVENT
ULTIMATE PASSAGE
MR; SCOTT IS THOROUGHLY CON
VINCED, AFTER INVESTIGATION,
OP THE WISDOM OF THE MEAS
URE SPEAKER HENDERSON IS
FRIENDLY TO IT.
Congressman J. M. Moody arrived
yesterday from Waynesville and is at
tending Federal court. When seen last
J evening by a representative of the Ga
zette he very kindly offered .to answer
every question he could relative to the
Appalachian Park movement. When
asked, to sum' up the present situation
in, a few words, he smiled and said,
"that suits me exactly."
Said he: "We hope to Wave our in
ning after the first of next week with
the speaker of the house, because he
has control of the legislation and of
what shall and what shall not be con
sidered., Congressman Brotwnlow of
Tennessee, myself and .others who are
actively engaged in pushing the legis
lation, have already had several inter
views twith Speaker Henderson about
the auestion of getting time for the
consideration of the park bill. We
have filed with him the hearings before
the committee, the report on the bill, a
copy of the bill itself and a report from
the secretary of agriculture giving, as
it does; all the scientific .reasons for the
establishment of the park, and also
nnessages of Presidents McKinley and
Roosevelt advocating the establishment
of the park. In the interviews we have
had with the speaker he expressed him
self is friendly ? to, the imeasure;t uth
also sjthaiC
ing before congress were of the greatest
national importance. The Philippine
bill and ) other government appropria
tion .bills must have precedence over
this measure, he said.
"We have assured him that a special
canvass of the house has convinced us
that as much as half a day given to
the consideration of the measure will
enable it to become a law. It has
reached that staere in legislative pro
gress when nothing can prevent it be
coming a law. Our greatest struggle is
to get it upon the statute books or tne
United States during, 'the present ses
sion of congress.
Hon. Charles F. Scott of Kansas,
member of congress at large, who was
invited ihv Consrressman Mooay to
come south in the interest of the bill,
was ia.lso seen last evening. 1 am
something of a newspaper man my

here pulling after an interview when I
know you are going to have it, any
how.
"I am glad I came, I can assure you.
I have heard and read mucn 01 me
beauty of the 'Land of the Sky. 1
wanted to see the conditions and learn
if they would justify the attempts be
ing made to get the (bill tnrougn. x
have enjoyed my visit very much. I
aim thoroughly convinced that the
measure is a good, wise and necessary
one. The bill has been reported on by
the committee on agriculture, of which
I am a member, very favorably, and
we are promised by .the committee on
rules that we will have a hearing in a
reasonable length of time.
"I believe it has good prospects otf be
coming a law. There are no 'knockers'
that I know of. There are many who
v-q anthnsiatio Jinfi WlAJlt tO dO all

Congressman Scott will leave today
for Washington. Representative jyiooay
